5/21/10 - Pretty efficient brew day overall, despite lautering issues. This was my first time trying out a larger 3/4" braid in my mash tun, and when the mash tun was nearing the end of the run off I think the grain bed was compacting and gumming up the braid. I'm going to give this setup one more chance on 5/31 before I give up on it, due to the large amount of flaked barley and roasted barley that I ground in a coffee grinder, I think this is probably the stickiest mash I'll deal with. Overall it took me 5.5 hrs including clean up time, although I wasn't patient enough to chill down to pitching temps so I put the carboys in the chest freezer and woke up early to pitch the yeast. I got more volume than 10 gallons but I'm not sure how much more, fortunately I still got some good efficiency and hit 1.044.
